What's a Wreck?

A Cake Wreck is any cake that is unintentionally sad, silly, creepy, inappropriate - you name it. A Wreck is not necessarily a poorly-made cake; it's simply one I find funny, for any of a number of reasons. Anyone who has ever smeared frosting on a baked good has made a Wreck at one time or another, so I'm not here to vilify decorators: Cake Wrecks is just about finding the funny in unexpected, sugar-filled places.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, John! I'll bet you don't look a day over whatever you're telling everyone you are! Anyway, age doesn't matter unless you're wine or cheese. I too love tigers. I was born in the Chinese-astrological "year of the tiger" (for whatever that stuff is worth). Hope you two do some REALLY fun stuff today!! Show us pictures if Jen gets you a birthday wreck! =^~.~^=

Happy birthday, john. It's my birthday too. I happened to go over to Google to search for something today and discovered that the Google doodle is cakes. On your birthday they give you a special Google doodle and if you hover over the cakes it is a personalized birthday greeting.

Happy Birthday, John.. Hope you and Jen had fun at AK. Thanks for sharing at least part of your day with us. Love the animal cakes. The artistry here is AMAZING. Have no idea how anyone can make a cake that balances like that flamingo or that sweet zebra, but the realism on the gorilla, rhino and tiger are breathtaking.

Speaking of cool animal experiences. If you ever have the opportunity, The San Diego Safari Zoo in Escondido (about 40 miles north of San Diego) offers several difference Safari experiences where you can interact with some of the African animals. I had the chance to feed giraffes and even rhinos on the two hour Safari trip. It was awesome. And at the San Diego Sea World there were opportunities to go behind the scenes and interact with Arctic animals like Beluga whales, walruses, and arctic foxes. Even got to feed a baby beluga whale. I did both of these on vacation to San Diego...

Happy Birthday, John!! Enjoy DAK!!! I luv it so much there!! It makes the cut when I go down next week for a grand total of 60 hrs in the state of Florida!!

Did u know Lakeland has an entire lake filled with swans, both white and black! (But not the scary ballet black swan type, tho they can chase you if provoked!!!) It's true, and the legend says they were given to the city by the queen of England. I only lived there when I was in school, so you know how legends grow on a college campus!!

Plus, if you live the tigers, you need, NEED to be following BigCatDerek on vine, YouTube, instagram, etc. He lives at a big cat rescue in Texas and films the kitties everyday!!! They've even got some lion cubs right now that are so adorable!!!!
